1993, 95, 97 & 99, the clarinet award for 94, 96 & 98
and being voted the top baritone player in 98, 2000 & 2002. In

the Year award and in November 2003 was made a fellow of the Leeds
College of Music. 2003 also saw the inception of Alan’s own record label
Woodville Records. Alan is joined by the co-leader of his award-winning
quintet - trumpeter par excellence Bruce Adams, himself a previous
winner of the top trumpet prize at the British Jazz Awards.
